As a shut in and professional hobbyist, this is far more valuable if it is engaging enough to get me to use it. I don't want to go get all sweaty and dirty riding a bike outside, and I'm clumsy so I would be terrified of seriously

I'll second the multi device functionality. I use Firefox on desktop and iOS and all of my history, autocomplete, and tabs follow me and everywhere. It's incredibly convenient.

I can only speak for React, but the declarative component model doesn't eliminate state or imperative code, it just nudges you towards separating your stateful code from your layout/rendering code. In the React/Redux conventi

It's best to test on an actual device, but chrome developer tools does have CPU and network throttling to simulate slower machines.

I believe remote work amplifies everything. Inefficiencies, poor organization, bad documentation, poor communication, poor work ethic. Any stresses start to form cracks when taken out of the office environment. The upside is all of the thin

Graphic design was done by hand in those days. They literally cut and pasted images and text for the pages. My parents were both graphic designers and I watched them do this as a child before computers took over the industry. You can imagin

On the subject, I just received an oculus quest, and I'm pretty blown away by it. I know that it will never compete with a PC-tethered device on image quality, but the quality is good enough and they have nailed almost every inconven

At one point international trade was the job of nation states. I don't think it's outrageous to imagine that some large scale endeavors require enormous upfront capital and organization, but eventually become cheap enough to move

I'll pitch in with my own intuition; the easiest way to understand it is to view it as a call stack. Using this example function: function RecFunc(n, max) { let result; // intialize the return variable if (n <

Sounds to me like putting sugar on a plate and vibrating it at a certain frequency. The same patterns always form for the same frequency. Why should solar systems be any different, given the overall mass of the star and raw material?
